Interest in the
compound Fucoxanthin has sky rocketed thanks to Dr. Oz. This leads me to want to share a bit more about this amazing substance. Fucoxanthin is a seaweed compound and we are big proponents of consuming
seaweed, a natural wild vegetable from the ocean. One reason we like
wild foods is because they offer a richer and wider nutritional content
than farmed foods.

Modifilan Brown Seaweed Extract is Rich in Nutrients
Modifilan Brown Seaweed contain an array of complex nutrients and
minerals not found nowhere else. Particularly interesting are the
polysaccaride compounds and antioxidants in brown seaweed. Dr. Oz show has promoted a report which demonstrates the promise of the
antioxidant, fucoxanthin. Fucoxanthin is a caroteniod compound found in Modifilan Brown Seaweed.

Cellular Metabolism: Fucoxanthin – The “Fat Burning” Component
While simple Brown Seaweed contains fucoxanthin, this substance it is not present in high enough quantities
to make a difference. Researchers recommend using it in supplement form
where Fucoxanthi is concentrated to levels that make it
useful as a fat burner. This amazing substance increases cellular
metabolism even while the body is inactive. This in turn also helps to
normalize cholesterol levels in the body. Taking Modifilan Brown
Seaweed extract in addition to a healthy diet can help you get over the
hump and headed to the proper weight and cholesterol level for your
body.

One of the main actions of Fucoxanthin is to increase the synthesis of a
key protein involved in fat metabolism. This then helps the body burn
extra fat.

Heavy Metal Cleansing
In a previous blog post I
talked about the ability of seaweed to cleanse heavy metals from the
body. Modifilan being a concentrated supplement greatly assists in the
removal of heavy metals from the body. Our environmental conditions
today means that we are exposed to heavy metals, of these metals mercury
is common contaminant we must deal with. In studies researchers have
found that Modifilan binds to and removes this toxic heavy metal from
the body without incident.

Brown Seaweed Extract the Heart and More Research
Researchers have also found that Brown Seaweed extract is useful for the heart, it is cardio protective.
And it has certain anti-inflammatory properties that benefit the gastro
intestinal tract. As well as protecting the thyroid gland and causing
certain types of cancer cells to self destruct.

Final Thoughts
Along
with its belly fat burning properties, Brown Seaweed extract has a
many positive health benefits. Whether using it for weight loss or to
cleanse the body this is a powerful supplement that will help you on
your path toward total body well being.

We have just learned that licorice root has been named “Medicinal Plant of 2012″*

This article is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

How interesting, I hardly knew when the nominations were? Licorice is certainly an interesting plant. It is widely known as a flavoring for “Licorice” the black chewy candy. Before its fame in the land of sweets it was and still is used widely in Chinese medicine.

And this year it got another boost from Dr. Oz. On his show he told everyone how licorice can aid weight loss, when used in conjunction with Modifilan brown seaweed extract. If you are interested in learning more about Modifilan there are 3 other posts on this blog about Modifilan. Just search for them.

Back to the star Licorice. I recently came across a study that has found licorice compounds to be beneficial for people with diabetes. This is completely new research, really new research and we will be seeing more about this as it develops. So far this is what we know. Certain molecules found in licorice reduce blood sugar and possess anti-inflammatory properties. The molecules of interest are known as amorfrutins. And, they seem to reduce glucose levels which in turn prevents insulin resistance. It is important to note that the concentration of amorfrutins in licorice is to low to be effective. So researchers are looking to concentrate amorfrutins and study it on humans. So far tests have only been done on mice. *This research was carried out by the Max Plank Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, Germany.

Licorice and Oral Health

Recent research has found that two licorice compounds, licoricidin and
licorisoflavan A, are effective antibacterial substances.
These substances killed two of the major bacteria responsible for dental
cavities and two of the bacteria that promote gum disease. One of the
compounds — licoricidin — also killed a third gum disease bacterium.
The researchers say that these substances could treat or even prevent
oral infections. This is an excerpt from a story published by the ACS.

It should be noted that licorice is not beneficial for people with high blood pressure and it can have undesirable effects and interactions
with prescription drugs.

Brown seaweed extract is truly a dynamic product, a sampling of the reports indicates that people who use brown seaweed extract experience numerous benefits.Improves the Effects of Diet and Exercise:

The title of this section says it all, “Improves the effects of diet and exercise”. This doesn’t take the place of diet and exercise. The report on brown seaweed has been a mixed bag; mostly positive with the most positive results coming when it is combined with diet and exercise.

Brown seaweed extract was popularized as a weight loss product by Dr. Oz, he was and you can use this to regain your perfect healthy weight. It has been indicated that this supplement helps by increasing fat metabolism, which can help to shed unwanted pounds. We have also heard reports of brown seaweed help to quell the appetite. This has helped people maintain healthy eating habits, the sense of being full faster has stopped them from over indulging. And anecdotal reports suggest people using brown seaweed extract notice an increase in energy and a more balanced energy throughout the day.

Why Can’t I Just Eat Seaweed?
Well, you can and we certainly do encourage that but there is a difference between eating seaweed and using brown seaweed extract. The treasured elements in brown seaweeds, are enhanced through a special cold-temperature extraction technology. Which keeps intact the delicate molecular structure of brown seaweed. And MODIFILAN is not just another dry seaweed product – it is highly concentrated product. FORTY pounds of raw seaweed is needed to make ONE pound of MODIFILAN. So why you can eat seaweed you won’t be getting the benefits that are reported by those who use brown seaweed extract.

Reports suggest that the effects of Modilfilan brown seaweed are enhanced when used in conjunction with licorice extract. This may be due to the fact that licorice can increase metabolism, when combined they seem to work synergisticaly to support healthy weight. So as you begin to improve your diet and exercise regularly you may beginning seeing added weight loss particularly in the mid section, when using brown seaweed and licorice root extract. Reports suggest that it will take 1-2 weeks to notice the benefits of these herb, depending on your routine.

What else does MODIFILAN do?

– Helps those who are overweight by improving the function of the gastro-intestinal tract.
– Improves the structure of hair and nails and help them to grow.
– Help to detoxify smokers from strontium and cadmium.

Heavy Metal Toxicity and Immune Health
Brown seaweed is not just good for losing belly fat, in fact this is a side benefit to its main application, which is its ability to detoxify the body. Aliginate compounds in concentrated brown seaweed such as Modifilan bind to toxic metals and radiation. The body is then better able to effectively deal with these toxic compounds and expel them from the bodies. Below you will find a breakdown of the major compounds in Modifilian and their purpose.

Detail Breakdown of Brown Seaweed

*Organic Iodine feeds the Thyroid Gland, which controls metabolism and promotes maturation of the nervous system. Iodine is important for thyroid disorders, wherever underactive or overactive.

*Alginate is a natural absorbent of radioactive elements, heavy metals and free radicals. It has the unique ability of binding heavy metals and radioactive elements to its own molecules. As the Alginate cannot be broken down by the bile or saliva and cannot be absorbed by the body, it is secreted from the body together with the heavy metals and radioactive substances.

*Laminarin is a polysaccharide helpful in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Summary Modifilian brown seaweed extract is a unique supplement that provides a wide range of benefits and when used in conjunction with diet and exercise user reports suggest it has helped them shed extra pounds at a quicker rate than they were used to.

It is our aim to provide you with a well rounded understanding and benefits of this product and how it may help with weight loss. We are here to help you fit healthy changes into your diet and provide with supplements that support your health goals.

That is a darn good question. Does it work? Will you lose weight if you use it?

Original R and D

Lets start the conversation by saying Modifilan was designed as a natural detox remedy to cleanse the body of heavy metals and radiation poisoning. The maker of Modifilan is aware that it is being touted as a weight loss supplement and the maker wants it to be known that while it can help with weight loss the R and D has been focused on detox.

Magic Bullet

Folks I hate to break it to you but there is no such thing as a magic bullet. You cannot simply take something to lose weight. YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR. YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS AND EXERCISE HABITS. Brown seaweed extract does increase fat metabolism and increasing fat metabolism will help you lose weight. And, using Modifilan within the context of a balanced diet and exercise regime is your best approach. Also consistency and commitment are important, you need to follow through to reap results.

Bigger Picture

Actual fat intake is only part of the picture, natural, raw, plant oils and fats are good for you, actually many fats are good for you such as fish oils. Fat intake may not be the “problem”. But, sugar intake is an issue, there are no two ways around this. Your body will store excess sugar it can’t metabolize as fat this will cause weight gain.

Our Stance

While we have benefited in sales from the increased attention this product has received we encourage a balanced lifestyle with supplements as an addition. They are called SUPPLEMENTS, ie they supplement the diet. If the diet is poor do not expect much from the supplement or even a lasting change. We have many natural healthy options available from raw plant proteins, raw healthy fats and low glycemic sweeteners. Green powders are also a great aid to weightloss they provide a wealth of nutrients with a minimum of calories. Please refer to our earlier Post for some ideas and suggestions.

Bottomline

Modifilan will work within reason when used wisely and in combination with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. It was also reported that the use of licorice extract along with modifilan boosts the weight loss potential of the product.

SummaryModifilan combined with a healthy diet and exercise will be a benefit to your weight loss goals. But, only if you are consistent with the program you set for yourself. Including green foods such asGreens First Powder in your diet will give you nutrition without calories. Also healthy oils, particularly coconut oil is a great aid to a fitness regime because the medium chain triglycerides get used as energy quickly by the body. Low glycemic sweeteners are also an important piece of the weightloss picture, you need to cut out the refined sugar and related products. Consider using stevia, agave nectar or coconut sugar instead; shop for these at our Sweeteners page.

Last but not least; the emotional level. It would be incomplete to leave the emotional piece of the equation out. Food has a very powerful emotional impact on our lives and making changes around food can be very challenging on the emotional level. I, Mark D’Aquila the author of these posts am also a specialist in the use of flower remedies for emotional healing. And, I can help you address any emotional condition you want to change.

In a previous blog post I talked about the ability of seaweed to cleanse heavy metals from the body. Modifilan being a concentrated supplement greatly assists in the removal of heavy metals from the body. Our environmental conditions today means that we are exposed to heavy metals, of these metals mercury is common contaminant we must deal with.
